Disable Integraded graphics problem.

[taby448]

I want to disable my integrated gpu, which is an intel integrated 4000... i want to switch it to the dedicated amd r9 m275x

This is on a lenovo Y40. in the bios i found switchable graphics and UMA. UMA disables one, which turns out to be the dedicated. how do i change that? ;-;

usually you just install the dedicated card and it disables the onboard by default.

should i disable the integrated, and keep in mind this is a laptop.

yep,you could,although i dont think its necessary.

Go to control panel--> Device manager--> Display and disable it there.

As both gpus are in, how do i enable dedicated graphics on the UMA settings in bios? there is switchable. which i hate... and UMA.
which then puts me into the integrated only,

Leave things alone. The machine will switch automatically between graphics sources according to demand e.g. on board for office work and AMD for viewing a film

the reason why i want to wipe off the integrated, is because it forces me to use it in minecraft no matter what, as for it uses a launcher in to javaw.exe which causes a loop into a forced integrated gpu
